Enhanced Web Admin

[normanr]

It works great except that I would like to avoid (for test purposes only) the login screen which causes problems on the mobile phone browser.

set the login name to 'autologin'. This is explained on the wiki page, but in an up coming relase I'm planning to replace it with an IP based solution anyways.

As another question I would also like to know if it's normal that the records correctly schedule when my asp.net pages are in the gbpvr/web/ folder and are not working when those same pages are in my wwwroot folder, even if I've the GBPVR.Public.dll and GBPVR.Backend.common.dll and GBPVRRecordingService.exe in the bin directory of my asp.net project ?

yes, I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but it's related to database locking access. If you changed to an MSDE based database, then the problems would probably go away. (search the forum for MSDE instructions, several other people have had great success, but this isn't the right thread for help with the MSDE settings)

Thanks, sorry for not having noticed the "autologin" thing in the wiki.

I'll also have a look to the MSDE database solution as well!

Thank you.

Concerning the "autologin" issue, in fact, it still sends HTML headers before redirecting to the wap designed page... Those headers are rejected by my mobile phone.

I'll try to search on the MSDE database side. I'll keep you informed.

Thank you by the way

You can turn off authentication by editing the web.config and removing the 'Deny anonymous users' line. You could also create your own login page that's wap happy, do some wap detection, and use that instead of the standard login page.

You could also put your page in the public folder, which doesn't have the 'Deny anonymous users' setting on it.

also hoping web streamer will be integrated sometime soon...

Yes it will be.....I am testing the streamer now and will work with sgilani to align it with the EWA when the code is "ripe".......I am sure that normanr will need to get involved as well.

The streamer will be a very nice addition.

Hi, looking for help please, I've had a problem for some time that has been there for the last few releases. I've also tried a full reinstall of the PC. Only occasionally do I get the web interface for the Guide, Manage recordings & Statistics to display correctly (Search, video & music work fine). Otherwise I get:

1. Guide page (I use XMLTV) - I either get a blank guide with just headings or this "server error screen"
[SIZE="1"]Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Unspecified error

Source Error:

2. Statistics/manage screens I get this "server error"

There does not seem to be any other debug info outside of the .net log (nothing in GBPVR logs).

I've tried:
- Accessing from local PC (using localhost) as well as remote
- IE & Firefox
- Disabling all security/other software
- Different ports, loging (inc. autologin)
- GB-PVR V95.16, V95.16+V31 & 96.8
- All XP/.net updates applied.

Thanks

do you have a zap.mdb in your gbpvr folder? if you rename it does it help?

No zap.mdb. From looking at zaptools.cs the part where the error was seemed to be checking whether zaptools was installed or not. Thanks

I seem to have found the cause of the web admin problem I described a few posts back. It seems to be due to having the Redrat Changer Plugin selected in the Capture source. If I change this to "no channel changer" then the web admin works 100%.
I've attached the log but can't understand why this might be causing the issue. The Redrat changer plugin is built into GB-PVR and uses no other software.
Anybody any ideas please? Have I done something stupid or is this a bug for Sub?

EDIT: Just found the solution (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...edrat.dll). Creating a web/plugins directory and copying the redrat.dll file from gbpvr into there solved it.

Hi everyone !
I'm developping a simple WAP (for mobile phones) version of Web Admin.

For now, this version allows to record from a start time to a end time for a given channel.

It works great except that I would like to avoid (for test purposes only) the login screen which causes problems on the mobile phone browser. That screen appears when I try to reach my http://ip:port/gbpvr/wap.aspx page.
Could you give me a advice ?

As another question I would also like to know if it's normal that the records correctly schedule when my asp.net pages are in the gbpvr/web/ folder and are not working when those same pages are in my wwwroot folder, even if I've the GBPVR.Public.dll and GBPVR.Backend.common.dll and GBPVRRecordingService.exe in the bin directory of my asp.net project ?

Thanks for anyone that could help me !

Good work you're doing here.

That would be VERY nice to happen when your done with it. Another approach to the more limited WAP browsers, is the FREE version of Opera that works on most phones. There's not a site i haven't been able to visit yet, compared to the WAP browser build in. It's works REALLY,REALLY well. And free.
